Body Wraps, Do They Work?

I'm always up for a short cut to weight loss. I admit- I HATE to put forth the effort required for real hard work that sheds pounds. So naturally my ears perked up when I heard about these thigh & belly wraps. My husband won't allow me to purchase one but I'm hoping someone out there will try one and let us know how it works:)

For those of you that haven't heard of them, there are many kinds of wraps made by several manufacturers that promote size and weight loss in days by wearing a band around a targeted area. Some bands say only ten minutes a day is needed to lose inches around your waist, others recommend wearing the bands during your exercise routine to increase your weight loss. Whatever the case, it's my understanding the band is designed to shed only water weight and it will come back quickly. But I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. What if you have a big dinner to attend and you've been dying to get back into that red dress? This could be just the thing to help you look great for the special event. 

Here's a link to the wrap I saw on late-night TV. I think you can even find it at Walmart in the "as seen on TV" section.
